the challenge
A city centre accommodation and social venue, marketed to students and professionals as a place to learn, stay, work and play, required a fit-for-purpose polymer flooring solution for its many collaborative and communal spaces.

The Social Hub’s Glasgow venue, located in the city’s Candleriggs Square, features hotel rooms for short term stays, as well as longer-term availability for students to make The Social Hub their home-away-from-home for the academic year.
On top of that, the hotel’s shared social spaces, rooftop pool, bar and restaurant make the venue a flexible option for a range of social, study or work events.
the project
The overhaul of The Social Hub’s communal areas, including the bar, restaurant, social activities space, co-working rooms and the lobby’s WC, was scheduled to take place during 2023 Christmas holidays before students were due to arrive early in 2024.
The two week festive flooring facelift required a solution that would deliver an attractive finish under a fast turnaround.
Vebro’s solution
A total of 800 m2 vebroflex Comfort UV in the shade RAL 7035 Light Grey was chosen for the Glasgow hotel and accommodation venue.
After meticulous surface preparation, two coats of vebro EP DPM were applied prior to the installation of vebroflex Comfort UV, to mitigate the substrate’s excessive moisture content.
vebroflex Comfort UV was then installed to complete the renovation, creating in an industrial-chic interior that perfectly complements the contemporary design scheme of The Social Hub.
vebroflex Comfort UV is a seamless, flexible, polyurethane comfort resin flooring system with a pigmented UV seal coat.
The liquid-applied alternative to vinyl floor coverings provides a hygienic finish as well as an elastic cushioning effect underfoot, not only improving the comfort underfoot for users of the space, but also absorbing impact sound by up to 3 dB and reducing heat loss in multi-occupancy spaces.
The system’s excellent cleanability and seamless hygienic finish makes vebroflex Comfort UV an ideal choice for a busy accommodation and public venue.
